Yeah, our spending needs to be more than just trimmed. It needs to be seriously and permanently circumcised.

You might notice that the media never finds similar “gaffes” coming from the democrats.
Curious how that works.

Looks like the idiot writer and editor could use a math lesson. 1.3 million? Seriously... Where are the editors?

a number which is $1.3 million higher than Obama's total budget,People who criticize other people's math skills should try not to be off by a factor of 1,000,000 themselves.

They’re coming up short with new ways to paint a guy who plays Beethoven at home to relax as ‘stupid’.
I hope Perry passes a piano somewhere in his Iowa stops this month.

It is surprising to see someone who has been in executive public office for so long make mistakes like this.

Whoever wins the nomination is going to have to win back all the voters Perry has turned off to the Republican Party by making us look bad with his embarrassing gaffes.
Thanks Perry!

Good! That’ll be 1.3 trillion that can be used to pay down the debt.
Do that for 15 years and our combined debt is eliminated.
:-P

If Washington cuts 5 Trillion from a 3.7 Trillion budget, we’ll only spend 4 trillion more that year than the previous. Using WashMath.

Yeah, if they can make a slip like that you would think that they might apologize to Rick Perry.
